Topic: FSB v FSB Pro - Inconsistency in Strat Results

I ran a strat in FSB and then FSB Pro, but achieved different results.

I checked all the obvious things like same data, lot, percentage, settings etc etc, yet with identical settings I am getting different results on all my back tests between the two platforms.

Can someone help please, what am I not seeing or doing?

Thanks
Steve

The back test is 100% equal in both programs for equal settings and data sets.

There is a small difference in Profit per Day stats. I'm not exactly sure why is that. Probably due to a  different formula for calculating the count of the trading days. I'll check it and will make it equal.

Yes I see your screenshot shows this, however on my computer results are very different, how can I post a screenshot like this one you have so I can demonstrate please.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and I still get the same results.

You have to reset all settings.
For FSB Pro delete all files in C:\Program Files\Forex Strategy Builder Pro\User Files\System directory.
For FSB Free delete config.xml and instruments.xml in C:\Program Files\Forex Strategy Builder\User Files\System
